Originally from Geordieland, started out playing bass in rock bands in clubs in the North-east in 1973.
Had a break from playing for 9 years from 1978 due to work commitments, returned to playing in 1987 then had to totally re-learn the guitar following a bit of a Tony Iommi incident when I pulled my ring finger off in an accident at work.
Developed a love for the blues, particularly Gary Moore and Walter Trout and played guitar in blues bands in North-East pubs, one of which was Stormy Monday who are now Myspace friends.
Left South Shields to relocate to Weston-Super-Mare in 1998, where I again had a short break from playing.
Moved on to Norwich in 1999 where I played in rock band Slyde for several years (that's me on the Slyde Myspace tracks) and also in a duo with Ricci called 10:20.
Moved to Devon in 2006 and now performing as a solo guitar/vocalist as well as running a guest house in Teignmouth with the lovely Bev.
Played in a lot of bands with a lot of great musicians, far too many to mention or even remember now, and had a lot of good times over the years.
Special thanks to Ricci and Bev for encouraging my vocal abilities, Paul at The Showman, Exeter for giving me my first gigs, and Phil Smyth for his much appreciated assistance in rehearsals and at my debut gig.
Also, thanks to the amazing Graham Russell and Trevor Sewell whose outstanding solo performances inspired me to do this in the first place.
